When we told Humberto Leon he might have the best job in New York (collaborating with the likes of Spike Jonze, Chloë Sevigny, and Terry Richardson, and jetsetting around the world with partner Carol Lim to OC's international locations) he sheepishly shook his head and said, "Noooo." But we still don't believe him, especially after sitting down with him and hearing this list.

1. Bag of Violet Glitter from Rob Pruitt

"Opening Ceremony did a collaboration with Rob where he sold some of his stuff at the store and he had these big bags of glitter. He signed this one for me."

2. The Family

"My family is on the West Coast, and they're all jealous because I live in New York and they think I have this amazing, exciting life, but actually, I'm jealous of them because they get to hang out with the kids and see each other more often. When I go home, I can hang out and just let go. I'm a total suburban kid at heart."

**3. Pearl T-shirt by Terence Koh **

"Terence Koh did a limited edition of these shirts for us, and this one is mine. He has a thing about leaving a trace of yourself when you walk out of a room, almost like perfume. It's a cotton T-shirt covered in crushed pearls, and the idea is that it disintegrates as you wear it. I've never worn mine. Maybe when I'm 80, I'll be like, 'Fuck it,' and put it on."

4. Ricoh GR Digital Camera and Supreme Camo Leopard Camera Bag

"I take pictures of everything. I just feel like it's important to record those memories so you can look back at that night you went karaokeing with friends and say, 'Look at what you were wearing,' or 'That was a crazy dance move.' It's a visual record of how the world is in this moment."

**5. Ballpoint Pen Piece by Cary Kwok **

"This is one of the first pieces I bought. I just started collecting art, and I was really excited to get it. It's called Cum to Barber. He does a series about men—everything from superheroes to guys like George Washington. Cary is a friend of mine, and we're both Chinese. I speak Cantonese and so does he, which is kind of rare, so we bonded over that. We didn't grow up together, but he feels like one of those friends I've known since we were kids."

6. 1980s Carrera Sunglasses

"I don't wear sunglasses that often, so when I do, they've got to be good. I like that these have a little bit of metal, but aren't an all-metal frame. They're from Silver Lining, who does vintage frames over in SoHo, and I liked them so we started carrying them at Opening Ceremony. We collaborated with them on the same sort of Christian Roth sunglasses that Kurt Cobain wore."

7. 1991 Andre Agassi Tennis Shoes

"I played tennis in high school and at the time, these were the thing. I had two pairs and one of them was just destroyed. These are still pretty intact, but they've yellowed a bit from the sun and having been in storage. Maybe I'll wear them again one day."

8. Magazine Collection

"I've kept every magazine since I was a teenager—everything from Nylon to Sassy. I have the first edition of Vogue that Anna Wintour ever edited from November 1988, and it's signed. People think I'm crazy that I'll sit down and read from page one to the end. I could sit with Vanity Fair and read the entire thing in one sitting."

**9. Bumble Bumble Surf Spray **

"I love being in the sun all year round, and I love warm weather—I'm from California.This stuff does magical things to your hair. It's like sand and sun and ocean water. I'm always afraid that they'll stop making it, so I have a ton of back up bottles, just in case."

10. Swatch Pop Collection

"Do you remember Pop Swatches? These were the greatest. You could pop the face off and pin it to your shirt, but they stopped making them because I think they got rid of the machinery that produced them. I collected so many. I'm a total collector. If you knew how much I collected, you'd send me to Hoarders."
